Blast Rooms
Abrasive blast rooms are used when equipment or parts become too large to fit into a standard blast cabinet.
Abrasive Blast Rooms
In a blast room, an operator in protective clothing and a respirator blasts parts with recyclable blast media that is reclaimed through a floor grate or trough. Due to the large enclosure, blast booths provide great flexibilty in a production facility that manufactures and processes multiple types of parts.
- Blast Rooms typically use recyclable media from steel shot or grit, to light abrasives such as corn starch (EnviroStrip or GPx) or Type VII plastic.
- Blast Rooms are available in many sizes and with numerous options, from small pre-engineered rooms, to large custom built rooms as well as a variety of floor configurations.
- Blast Rooms can be used for blasting large equipment and parts.
- Midvale has designed and installed blast rooms for the military, railroad, automotive and commercial aerospace industries.

Abrasive Recovery Options for Blast Rooms
Auger Abrasive Recovery
Screw conveyor abrasive recovery systems are available for full or partial floor sweep-in configurations. Abrasive is collected or swept into a hopper that then sends the abrasive through the cleaning and screening process.
Belt Conveyor Recovery
The belt recovery system is built into the full or partial area of the floor. As abrasive is spent, it falls through the grated floor into hoppers that feed the belts. The belt then carries the abrasive through the cleaning and screening process.
M-Section Abrasive Recovery
M-Section recovery systems a pneumatically powered and designed for lightweight media. The spent media falls into the grated floor and in M-section hoppers. The system then uses high-velocity air to evacuate each hopper and carries the abrasive to the cleaning and screening process.
Flat-Track Abrasive Recovery
Flat-Track is a full area recovery system that requires little digging within the facility. Abrasive is recovered through a series of channels where the abrasive is moved forward through a pushing ‘arm’ to enter the cleaning and screening process.
Hopper Abrasive Recovery
Hopper abrasive recovery systems are the most economical option. Abrasive is collected or swept into a hopper that then sends the abrasive through the cleaning and screening process.
